2 BSODs 2 Days

Ok thanks, will look for my stock cooler later. Will need to buy a lot of paste if I will be reapplying it multiple times /sigh
And the memory tests take hours.. so could be doing tests for somewhat 24 hours

The max temperature is rather low then... considering it was going very hot while playing games before I upgraded. While I'm taking the coolers off I'll have another go at taking the cpu out. But when I lift up the latch it just doesn't seem to move anything. So not sure how I could get it out.

Well in the BIOS it doesn't actually give me a number as shown in picture. Set everything back to normal anyway. Meaning the RAM is also normal so now +0.200v. And the OC has been removed
Thanks

Merry xmas.

Can you list your system specs in the 'My System Specs' in the lower left in any of your posts.
This will let everyone find your specs without searching through the thread.Done

What CPU cooler do you have? Thermalright TRUE Black 120
Have you checked that it is tight? Checked when installed it’s tight and massive =/

If you apply not enough thermal paste your CPU will run hot.
If you apply too much thermal paste your CPU will run hot, it's possible that if there is too much paste and the CPU gets hot the paste can run out the sides and cause the CPU to be difficult to remove. Will have a look again when I get the paste when i take off the TRUE. Will try to remove the cpu and just sit it back down I guess? Will also look at the guide for thermalpaste.


Most AMD CPUs temps I've seen have been very low, even OC'ed, a couple deg C above ambient temp at idle is common.
There are threads in various sites that mention heat issues due to too high CPU voltage, we might need to address this also. Currently, just idle the cpu is at 26c – room is rather cold though. CPU-Z reporting at 0.960V. I guess because it's only at 803.6MHz currently

What case do you have? Coolmaster storm scout
How many case fans? 4
Have you cleaned it? Yes,
Are there any cables obstructing the air flow? I guess so yes, all the ones by the PSU (mainly like graphics cards one being so big, and needing a selection of cables just to power one HDD...So blocking off front fan
How many fans on the CPU cooler? 2 can’t remember what they do, I think one was intake and one was outtake.
Which direction is the fan blowing? Case fans: Front=intake, Back=outtake Side=Intake, Top=outtake

We need to findout what the 'CPU NB VID Control' voltage is set at, this will likely need to be bumped up by a slight increase to help RAM stability.
Bump it by the smallest amount, +0.025v, it should give you the total voltage reading, post it here. 1.1250V with the small increase

Ok will do the memtest now as long as I can keep both sticks in :) Nearest PC shop is open tomorrow so can get some 'cheap' thermal paste and then a better one for when I put the TRUE back on. Hate installing that thing!

Its an ok case. First I had a cheap £30 Coolermaster 330. Thought this would be better. Just wish it had cable management holes as mine is a mess! Though I also need to look into if you can buy things so instead of me having like 4 SATA power connectors in the case, I wonder if I can just buy one. If that makes sense

Thanks

What do you recommend to clean TIM off with? Anything special?

Also, not had a BSOD for two days now.. how weird

Edit: Should I also put DDR2 voltage control up, as at default it's 1.8V?

Well not side holes. Small one at the top.

Yes it's modular and came with a box of cables, but they aren't single cables. Example, 4 power on one cable, not just a single power. Plus a pain to fit the graphics card cables for the 4890. Not much space
Well running the memtest for around an hour now, left ram as 1.8V.

Will give the thread about paste a read, though just remembered I think I bought some Akaska paste cleaning liquid

This is stupid

9hours 42minutes: 5 passes errors 0

Its taking forever!! Normally it takes an hour and a bit per pass

I'll stop it at 7
